If We Are Still Here on Monday . . .
Marilyn G. Pepper, JD, NCG, Louisiana Guardianship Services, Inc.
An inspiring talk of personal survival and the challenges of being a guardian in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Mrs. Pepper and her husband, both in their 70s, evacuated their home in low-lying Chalmette, southeast of New Orleans, and weathered the storm with their daughter, a nurse manager at Memorial Hospital, the site of several alleged mercy killings that later
made national news. After five days, she and her husband were finally rescued by boat, only to be deposited on the interstate
with crowds of other homeless evacuees. Having lost their home, cars, and all their belongings, and with only the clothes on
their backs, they hitch-hiked 80 miles west to the Baton Rouge airport, and found a flight to Austin, Texas. It was another week
before anyone knew their whereabouts….

Frank R. Acuna, Esq., Acuña, Regli & Klein, LLP
Are you aware of the situations which create conflicts of interest? Can you clearly identify who is the client, and to whom you
owe fiduciary duties, including the duty of confidentiality? What about attorneys who refer you cases and who may owe duties
to you and to others? This is the course for identifying and handling conflicts of interest and avoiding lawsuits!
3) Lessons that Guardians can Learn from Handlers for Lottery Winners & Professional Athletes
Clay Bigler, Kentucky Guardianship Administrators, LLC
Angela Luhys, Kentucky Guardianship Administrators, LLC

at ways that trusts can be reformed and the proper use of the Probate Court to reduce fiduciary liability. We will examine actual cases and the ways that creative fiduciaries have found to avoid liability. This course reviews the essential trust provisions
which every fiduciary must demand before committing to a case!
2) Use of Person-Centered Practices to Improve the Quality of Life in Long-term Care
David Seaton, Therapeutic Communities, LLC
Person-Centered Practices (PCP) is changing how long-term care is viewed for individuals with disabilities. This approach is a
radical change from how services were delivered in a paternalistic manner in the past. PCP is about knowing the person, empowering them to have a voice and choice in their lives, and differentiating between what’s important “for” and “to” the person,
and to develop a quality of life as they define it.

1) Effective Advocacy On Behalf of the Nursing Home Resident Client
H. Kennard Bennett, The Center for At-Risk Elders, Inc.
Care problems in nursing homes can pose challenges to the guardian. To be an effective advocate, the guardian needs to
understand how nursing homes work and develop a set of tools that can be employed to address the problems.

Gerald ‘Jerry’ Cohen, AARP Oregon
Naomi Karp, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
Erica Wood, American Bar Association Commission on Law & Aging

Tina Campanella, Quality Trust for Individuals with Disabilities

people of all different abilities in decision-making using the person’s identified preferences will be explored through case studies and discussion.

1) Behaviors as Communication - Communicating with Persons with Dementia
Mark Simmons, A Private Professional Guardian, LLC

you wondered if the answer they gave you was the real answer? Communicating with Persons with Dementia can be a challenge. Come and learn techniques to help you communicate better with those you serve. They are talking.... Are you listening?
2) Divorce and Guardianship: Issues, Due Process and Evolution of the Law
Charles P. Golbert, Esq., Office of the Cook County Public Guardian
Kass A. Plain, Esq., Office of the Cook County Public Guardian
Should a guardian be able to sue for divorce on behalf of a ward? This is a controversial and evolving area of the law that is
approached differently in different jurisdictions. This session will discuss the different approaches, along with the public policy
and due process considerations that justify the various approaches. The session will also discuss the Illinois Supreme Court’s
recent decision in Karbin v. Karbin, which diametrically changed the approach in Illinois by allowing, for the first time, a guardian to sue for divorce on behalf of a ward if certain due process protections are satisfied. The interactive session will include
discussion of case studies that highlight the issues implicated.

That’s a Tough One: Lessons Learned from Answering the Difficult Questions Part 1
Jeffrey Ory, ABC, APR, il Stratega
It is those questions that make us think, “Wow – that’s a tough one.” Questions that can be difficult or even, we think, impossible to answer. How do you prepare for situations when the difficult questions just keep coming? The key is to be ready for
any situation when hard questions are asked – by family members, judges, medical professionals, community members and,
sometimes, by the media. In this session you will better understand how to ace any interview, no matter who is throwing out
the questions.

Our Silent and Live Auctions are Fun and Important!
Conference attendees always look forward to the lively auctions that add sparkle to the event and needed income to the
Special Projects Fund. Donated items ranging from hand-made jewelry to fabulous vacations are auctioned to raise money
for NGA to fund worthy projects that are outside of the regular budget. The annual conference scholarships for a family
guardian and a public guardian come from the auction proceeds.
Even if you can’t attend, you are invited to be part of the auction. Find auction information at www.guardianship.org.

Continuing Education
This conference program holds a potential of 19.5 credit hours, including
3 hours of guardianship ethics credits (see below). Because each accrediting body must approve the program prior to assigning credits, the
specific number of credits accepted by each state and for each type of
credit will not be definite until October. Keep in mind that not all hours will
be deemed acceptable for all types of credit. Questions about continuing
education credits can be sent to Kelly Dolan at education@guardianship.
org or call NGA at 877-326-5992, ext. 2.
Proof of Attendance
NGA moderators will announce two codes during each session: one
at the beginning and another during the session. Codes MUST be entered on attendance verification sheets to receive proof of attendance;
should you miss one of the codes, please insert the time you arrived/
left the session in place of the code. Moderators, staff and other attendees are unable to repeat these codes as this is a requirement to verify
attendance for continuing education credit; falsifying information can
result in loss of education hours for all attendees. Attendance forms
must be completed and submitted to receive any credit; NGA strongly advises that all attendees submit attendance verification forms to
document your participation should you need record of it in the future.
Verified Certificate of Attendance
The conference registration includes a verified certificate for every
attendee who submits an attendance verification sheet which uses a
code system for each session. This certificate can be submitted as
proof of attendance to areas of education where NGA did not seek
preapproval.
Guardianship Credits
NGA’s conference is approved for guardianship continuing education
credits by the Center for Guardianship Certification (CGC), California
Fiduciary Bureau and Texas Guardianship Certification. The CGC has
approved 3 of these hours of ethics credits. The verified certificate is
accepted as proof of attendance for these organizations. NGA will also
be applying to CE Broker (Florida Public Guardian Office) and Professional Guardian Certification Board of Washington State. Certificate
fees apply to receive Guardianship CEUs for Florida and Washington.
Continuing Legal Education Credits
NGA is applying to offer Continuing Legal Education credit for Louisiana. Certificate fees apply to receive a legal certificate. Individuals
outside of Louisiana seeking legal credits should contact their state
boards prior to the conference to see if their process requires a legal or a verified certificate. A verified certificate is included with the
conference fee. If you have questions regarding legal credits, please
contact Kelly Dolan at [email protected].
Social Work Credits
NGA applies for social work credits with the NASW and any states
that do not accept NASW certification. For a certificate documenting
the pre-approved social work credits, a fee will be required.
Issuing of Certificates
To issue your certificate in a timely manner, NGA must receive your attendance sign-in sheets (which will be enclosed in the conference packet) before you leave the conference. Certificates are downloaded online.
All certificates ordered before the conference will be issued within 45
days of the conference. Attendees are urged to check their conference
packets upon arrival to obtain the most current continuing education information.
